Export drawings in high quality (eg. TIFF)

[jdavid10]

Hi everyone,

 

I was wondering, is there a way of exporting my AutoCAD drawings in high quality? Maybe Tiff?

 

The problems I have with exporting is that if export a drawing as a *.wmf the thick lines come out too thick even when using the 0.3 mm thickness. If i use the 0.25 mm thickness the lines are as thin as with the default thickness.

 

The contour lines of an image I imported into my AutoCAD drawing are coming all blurry when I export into wmf file even when using the 600 dpi resolution (highest available on the menu).

 

Inside my AutoCAD drawing my image map has a very high quality but when I export it, with AutoCAD polylines on top of it, the drawing comes out horrible.

 

I painted a blue polyline to represent a river in a contour map. This is for a civil engineering project. When I export the drawing, the polyline comes out too thick and the image behind comes out blurry. This happens even when using the highest definition possible for a wmf export (600 dpi).

 

I've read in another thread about a way of exporting into tiff. I followed the directions but the thread is not well explained. It doesn't say whether it is necesary to have or buy certain software. And it doesn't say what to do next to export the tiff drawing.

 

Does anyone here knows how to export high quality AutoCAD drawings?

You can plot it to TIFF plotter.

First, you need to add TIFF plotter. Read how you can do it here: How to: Get Hi Res Image from AutoCAD?

What programme are you using to view the exported drawing?

I also want to ask same question as eldon asked that can anyone please explain this thing in detail that how exactly we can see exported drawing ?

You cannot get hi res images using autocad cause autodesk never allowed this. Max resolution of exported tiffs is 100 dpi or something like that. You can download latest version of irfanview to view and plot hires dwg and dxf. Just go to plugins->options->dwg options and set width/height to higher values (10000 x10000 will be enough to get 1200 dpi for A3 layout).

If you do a wmf out you can open the .wmf file (pretty good quality) and do what you want with it from there.

Yes, but the OP does not say with which programme the .wmf file is opened. It is a crucial bit of information on which the relevant response can be given.
